Venture Capital & Emerging Companies

Finland’s deep-tech ecosystem is one of the most dynamic in Europe, and the capital is following the opportunity. In the Nordics, world-class innovation meets a growing pipeline of category-defining companies, drawing significant backing from both domestic and international investors into the venture and growth capital market. Finnish start-ups and scale-ups are gaining global momentum, and the ecosystem has never been more active.

Borenius has been embedded in the Finnish VC ecosystem since the very beginning over two decades ago. We have played an active role in shaping the market, advising across the full investment lifecycle from early-stage fundraises through to late-stage growth equity and strategic exits. Our market-leading practice maintains deep relationships across the ecosystem: top-tier VC and growth equity funds, corporate ventures, and founders building the next generation of breakout companies.
